Lisa Folawiyo, a precious luxury african brand

Lisa Folawiyo is a multi-faceted global womenswear and accessories collection.

The designer, Lisa Folawiyo perfected the art of wearing Ankara (local West African fabric) through the use of ornate embellishment.

Lisa transformed the fabric, creating a global print and turning the label into a coveted luxury brand.

Incorporating texture with this culturally established tradition has been the key to Lisa Folawiyo ʼs success, creating a conceptual and global design hybrid in which feminine and modern silhouettes are created with nods to traditional African aesthetics. Each Lisa Folawiyo garment boasts a handcrafted and unique history from inception to construction. Folawiyoʼs expert beading craftsmen hand embellish each Lisa Folawiyo piece, on average a 240 hour process that reflects the brandʼs focus on design integrity.
